Morphometric analysis of the small intestinal villi. Panel (A) and panel (B) show the height and diameter of the small intestinal villi, respectively. Data were shown as average ± SD, from two independent experiments (N = 8 mice per group). Statistically significant differences among treatments by the Dunn’s multiple comparison test (p < 0.05) were indicated by different lowercase letters (“a”, “b” or “c”) above the error bars. (NC) negative control group; (Bov) mice treated with bovicin HC5; (PC) positive control group.
